Where did you get the MODEL for this one? (there's a major error in it).

Use models from good books and newspapers (there are many online). You have some way to go before starting to create your full sentences. You're making too many errors this way, you're not idiomatic, and your progress is too slow.
My advice, if you care, is to post less and read more.

Thanks for your advide. I hope to get a few good books. Because of the finacial problems, I can't afford to buy.

The only I learn is through the Internet by asking questions that I had come across.

I found that I have improved day by day, anyway, thanks all of you and all the members for help.
